β¦ Synopsis
Using a model for the electric Γeld built up in insulating materials irradiated by electrons, a Monte Carlo simulation method has been applied to the binary oxides MgO, and
The results show the Al
. alteration of the shape of the depth distribution of characteristic x-ray production, the U(qz) function, for both metal and oxygen Ka lines. The inΓuence of the electric Γeld built up on the measured x-ray intensities was clearly established. The changes in other physical quantities, such as the energy and angular distribution of backscattering electrons and energy deposition were also investigated.

## Abstract We have carried out Monte Carlo simulation of the motion of electrons in the space charge sheath surrounding a cylindrical Langmuir (electrostatic) probe. The electron currents to the probe have been calculated from these simulations for different conditions (pressure of neutral gas, pr
